Let's I have values on columns A and B from row 1 to 4. I want to sum the results of the multiplication An*Bn, like this:
=A1*B1+A2*B2+A3*B3+...+An*Bn
Since my index n is too great I was wondering whether there's an easier way to get this sum done, something like this:
=SUM((A1*B1):(A1000*B1000)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks, Vandre
My answer to this would be to create a third column that does the multiplication:
C1's Forumula: =A1*B1
Then copy the C1 forumla down the entire C column.
Then SUM C: =SUM(C:C) or =SUM(C1:C1000)
May be you can try this:
=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A1000,B1:B1000)
This formula sums all the product values from a1 to a1000 and b1 to b1000
Hope it will help for your idea.
Try
=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A4;B1:B4)
A B C=(A*B)
1 1 1
2 2 4
3 3 9
4 4 16
30 sum of C1:C4
30 =SUMPRODUCT(A1:A4;B1:B4)
